Those who hate BoB or ASCN do it mostly out of jealousy. BoB are hated as the nearly flawless military machine, ASCN are hated as the extremely rich 0.0 empire, actually built by players.
I think this is about right. BoB is apparently the best military alliance in the game. ASCN was likely the best peace-time alliance in the game. BoB does have a lot of forum warriors, which I think maybe related to the age group that was displayed earlier in the thread. I do think some of the Forums folks, do have a lot to do with the BoB hate. On top of that they will receive the haters that dislike the fact that they're the bad mofo's on the block. With that being said, I think that it does come down to the fact that BoB has a good deal of the seasoned folks in game that do have their tactics down pretty well when it comes to what they do, and also have a real real serious revenue stream to continue to fund their war effort. Like all things, BoB will one day fall, if nothing else it would be a sheer numbers game when you're talking amount of live people vs live people. If let's say 4 large alliances where to get together and decide that they've had enough and simply pound BoB 23/7 in different locations at once some folks will lose some supplies, and BoB will fight like hell for a while, but in the end the sheer numbers would get them. Until something like that happens (unlikely RA, Goons, LV, D2, + whoever could agree long enough to do this i think), or some of the traditional internal alliance issues crop up, or game mechanics change to where they are not as effective(pretty unlikely), it is unlikely that they will be anything but top dog for a while. Is this good for the game? Someone has to be on top and in accordance with an earlier post they may be like the Empire in Star Wars, but even the Empire fell at some point. Until then, much respect to BoB for your pvp, boo to BoB for some of the forum stuff (not all of it), props to ASCN for establishing the largest 'Nation' in 0.0, now please stop the shooting and go mine some lows so mineral prices can go down!  . This is my personal opinion, not the view of my corp or alliance. And folks, be brave enough to post with your mains.
